“…A late thirteenth-century church at the site of Vasilitsi (near the area of Selitza), at the end of Cape Akritas near Korone in Messenia, is likely associated with a nearby village that has yet to be mapped (Figure 78). 80 Surrounded by graves housing the remains of men, women, and children, this was likely the burial church of the settlement. The fragments of cooking pots found in excavation of the site are the ceramic traces of a rural community that once used this church.…”

This is the first book to examine the late Byzantine peasantry through written, archaeological, ethnographic and painted sources. Investigations of the infrastructure and setting of the medieval village guide the reader into the consideration of specific populations. The village becomes a micro-society, with its own social and economic hierarchies. In addition to studying agricultural workers, mothers and priests, lesser-known individuals, such as the miller and witch, are revealed through written and painted sources. Placed at the center of a new scholarly landscape, the study of the medieval villager engages a broad spectrum of theorists, including economic historians creating predictive models for agrarian economies, ethnoarchaeologists addressing historical continuities and disjunctions, and scholars examining power and female agency.
